Ettore Cinnella 

About the book

The Russian revolution of 1905, which was a truly pivotal moment of modern Russian history.

The book brings to life many long-forgotten protagonists of the revolution, whose names where buried by the Communist victors of 1917. Based on original sources, 1905 gives an extraordinarily detailed and lively description of the enthralling world of Russian society at the turn of the century in prose so vivid the book reads like a novel.
